Product catalog summary
Overview: The Handler®130 is a versatile and user-friendly wire feed welder designed for both beginners and experienced users. It operates on standard 115-volt household power and is ready to weld out of the box using self-shielding flux-cored wire, eliminating the need for gas. It is also MIG capable with the addition of a regulator and shielding gas.
Specifications: The welder offers a broad output range of 30–130 amps, allowing it to weld materials as thin as 24 gauge and up to 3/16 inch in a single pass. It features a rated output of 85 A at 18.25 VDC with a 20% duty cycle. The unit is compact, with dimensions of 16.875 in. (H) x 9.875 in. (W) x 12.125 in. (D) and a weight of 50.5 lb.
Key Features: The EZ-Mode™ simplifies setup with a single knob that adjusts voltage and wire feed speed based on material thickness. The welder includes a built-in contactor for safety, making the wire electrically "cold" until the trigger is pulled. It accommodates both small and large spools of wire and features a dual-groove quick-change drive roll for different wire sizes.
Applications: Suitable for maintenance/repair, DIY projects, metal art, auto body work, farm/ranch tasks, and home repair.
Included Accessories: The package includes an 8 ft. H-9B MIG gun, work cable with clamp, power cord with plug, a sample spool of .030 in. self-shielding flux-cored wire, .030 in. contact tips, a weld set-up chart, an owner’s manual, and a material thickness gauge.
Warranty: Hobart offers a 5/3/1 industrial warranty: five years on transformers, stabilizers, and main rectifiers; three years on generators, PC boards, and drive systems; and one year on guns (MIG, plasma, and TIG torches).
Performance Data: The welder features a duty cycle curve and a volt/amp curve, providing detailed performance metrics for various settings.
Additional Accessories: Optional accessories include a hub kit for 8-inch spools, a flux-cored nozzle, a gas hose, a flow gauge MIG regulator, a small cart/cylinder rack, and a protective cover.
